Jean Vanier Biography Jean Vanier A Canadian Who Inspires the World Acclaimed as “a Canadian who inspires the world” (Maclean's Magazine) and a “nation builder” (The Globe and Mail), Jean Vanier is the founder of the international movement of L'Arche communities, where people who have developmental disabilities and the friends who assist them create homes and share life together. Born in 1928 in Geneva Switzerland, where his father was serving as a Canadian diplomat, he is the son of Governor-General Georges Vanier and Pauline Vanier. He was educated in England and Canada and grew up speaking both French and English. At just 13, during the most difficult period of World War II, he persuaded his father to permit him to enter England's Royal Naval Academy. He served in the British Navy and then the Royal Canadian Navy. In 1950, looking for deeper meaning in his life, he resigned his commission in the navy and began a period of spiritual search. During this time he worked on a doctorate in philosophy, which he received from the Institut Catholique in Paris. After teaching at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto, he returned to France. Distressed by the plight of people with developmental disabilities, in 1964 he welcomed two men from an institution to live with him in a little home he called “L'Arche,” after Noah's ark in the French village of Trosly Breuil. L'Arche grew quickly as this new way of sharing life together in community with people who would otherwise be shut away in institutions attracted many young people. And Vanier himself began traveling and speaking about his own life-changing experience of coming to know people with developmental disabilities. Today, there are 130 L'Arche communities in 30 countries on six continents. Jean Vanier has become a leader in consciousness-raising about the suffering of all who are marginalized. He is internationally recognized for his compelling vision of what it means to live a fully human life and for his social and spiritual leadership in building a compassionate society. He has written a number of best-selling books. Vanier resides in the original L'Arche community in Trosly-Breuil, France, when he is not travelling and speaking. Adapted from “Jean Vanier”, L’Arche, Retrieved on August 5, 2011 from: http://www.larche.ca/en/jean_vanier/biography Quotes and Thoughts by Jean Vanier 1. "To be lonely is to feel unwanted and unloved, and therefore unloveable. Loneliness is a taste of death. No wonder some people who are desperately lonely lose themselves in mental illness or violence to forget the inner pain.” 2. "We are not called by God to do extraordinary things, but to do ordinary things with extraordinary love. " 3. "Every child, every person needs to know that they are a source of joy; every child, every person, needs to be celebrated. Only when all of our weaknesses are accepted as part of our humanity can our negative, broken self-images be transformed." 4. "Many people are good at talking about what they are doing, but in fact do little. Others do a lot but don't talk about it; they are the ones who make a community live.” 5. "Love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. It means knowing how to do ordinary things with tenderness." 6. "All of us have a secret desire to be seen as saints, heroes, martyrs. We are afraid to be children, to be ourselves." 7. "When children are loved, they live off trust; their bides and hearts open up to those who respect and love them, who understand and listen to them." 8. "Jesus is the starving, the parched, the prisoner, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the dying. Jesus is the oppressed, the poor. To live with Jesus is to live with the poor. To live with the poor is to live with Jesus." 9. "A community is only being created when its members accept that they are not going to achieve great things, that they are not going to be heroes, but simply live each day with new hope, like children, in wonderment as the sun rises and in thanksgiving as it sets. Community is only being created when they have recognized that the greatness of man is to accept his insignificance, his human condition and his earth, and to thank God for having put in a finite body the seeds of eternity which are visible in small and daily gestures of love and forgiveness. The beauty of man is in this fidelity to the wonder of each day." 10. "Community is a sign that love is possible in a materialistic world where people so often either ignore or fight each other. It is a sign that we don't need a lot of money to be happy--in fact, the opposite." 11. "One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self- confidence and inner healing." 12. "To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance." 13. "This evolution towards a real responsibility for others is sometimes blocked by fear. It is easier to stay on the level of a pleasant way of life in which we keep our freedom and our distance. But that means that we stop growing and shut ourselves up in our own small concerns and pleasures." 14. "The response to war is to live like brothers and sisters. The response to injustice is to share. The response to despair is a limitless trust and hope. The response to prejudice and hatred is forgiveness. To work for community is to work for humanity. To work for peace is to work for a true political solution; it is to work for the Kingdom of God. It is to work to enable every one to live and taste the secret joys of the human person united to the eternal." 15. "A Christian community should do as Jesus did: propose and not impose. Its attraction must lie in the radiance cast by the love of brothers." 16. "We discover that we are at the same time very insignificant and very important, because each of our actions is preparing the humanity of tomorrow; it is a tiny contribution to the construction of the huge and glorious final humanity" 17. "I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes." 18. "The poor are always prophetic. As true prophets always point out, they reveal God's design. That is why we should take time to listen to them. And that means staying near them, because they speak quietly and infrequently; they are afraid to speak out, they lack confidence in themselves because they have been broken and oppressed. But if we listen to them, they will bring us back to the essential." 19. "When people love each other, they are content with very little. When we have light and joy in our hearts, we don't need material wealth. The most loving communities are often the poorest. If our own life is luxurious and wasteful, we can't approach poor people. If we love people, we want to identify with them and share with them." 20. "But let us not put our sights too high. We do not have to be saviours of the world! We are simply human beings, enfolded in weakness and in hope, called together to change our world one heart at a time. (163)" 21. "Growth begins when we start to accept our own weakness" 22. "I believe every act of violence is also a message that needs to be understood. Violence should not be answered just by greater violence but by real understanding. We must ask: 'Where is the violence coming from? What is its meaning?" 23. "A community that is growing rich and seeks only to defend its goods and its reputation is dying. It has ceased to grow in love. A community is alive when it is poor and its members feel they have to work together and remain united, if only to ensure that they can all eat tomorrow!" 24. "[...] We have to realize that this wound [of loneliness] is inherent in the human condition and that what we have to do is walk with it instead of fleeing from it. We cannot accept it until we discover that we are loved by God just as we are, and that the Holy Spirit in a mysterious way is living at the centre of the wound." 25. "At the heart of the celebration, there are the poor. If [they] are excluded, it is not longer a celebration. [...] A celebration must always be a festival of the poor. 26. "Every human activity can be put at the service of the divine and of love. We should all exercise our gift to build community."

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine.

    Valenzuela, Michael. “Story and Vision: Exploring the Use of Stories for Growth in the Life of Faith.” AXIS: Journal of Lasallian Higher Education 8, no. 2 (Institute for Lasallian Studies at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota: 2017). © Michael Valenzuela, FSC, PhD. Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not-for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. Story and Vision: Exploring the Use of Stories for Growth in the Life of Faith Michael Valenzuela, FSC2 Chapter One Statement of the Problem The use of story in communicating religious understanding and tradition is as old as religion itself. Human beings have always resorted to the language of story (image, symbol, metaphor, narrative) to speak of their encounters with Mystery. Telling stories is so much a part of what we do as human beings that we often take it for granted. Thus, the turn to story in religious education is nothing new, rather, it stems from a growing recognition and appreciation of the centrality of narratives to growth in personal and communal faith. How can different forms of stories be used to facilitate the growth in the life of faith among Catholic elementary and high school students in the Philippines? This is the question this extended essay seeks to address. Scope and Limitations “Story” is one of those deceptively simple words that everyone seems to use and hardly anyone can adequately define. A helpful definition offered by the Christian ethicist Stanley Hauerwas describes story as “a narrative account that binds events and agents together in an intelligible pattern.”3 While strictly speaking, one can differentiate between story and narrative, for the purposes of this extended essay, I will treat these two terms as meaning essentially the same thing.

    Jean Vanier was a Canadian humanitarian and social visionary. Founder of L’Arche and co-founder of Faith and Light, Vanier was a passionate advocate for persons with intellectual disabilities and a world where each person BACKGROUND is valued and belongs. EAN VANIER was born on September 10, 1928, in Geneva, JSwitzerland, the fourth of five children of Canadian parents, future Governor General Georges Vanier and Madame Pauline Vanier. Jean received a broad education in England, France, and Canada. At age 13, he informed his parents of his intention to leave Canada to join the Royal Navy in Great Britain. His father responded, “I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I trust you.” Jean said that his father’s trust in him touched him deeply and gave him confidence in his inner voice throughout his life. Vanier entered the Royal Navy at Dartmouth Naval College in 1942. From 1945 to 1950, he served on several warships, accompanying the British royal family in 1947 on their tour of South Africa aboard the HMS Vanguard. He transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1949. During this period he began to pray during long stretches serving watch on the ship’s bridge and came to realize that his future would move beyond the life of a naval officer.

  • “Community As a Window of Hope” the Story of an Emerging L'arche
    “Community as a Window of Hope” The Story of an Emerging L’Arche Community by Cassidy Klein Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation as an Honors Scholar at Point Loma Nazarene University, San Diego, California, May 7, 2020. Approved by _______Rebecca Laird________ _____Dean Nelson______________________ [Committee Member Name] _____Maria Nagy_______________________ [Committee Member Name] Date___________27 April 2020___________ 1 I. L’Arche and the Need for Community In the state of California, after adults with developmental disabilities turn 22, they “age out” of the school system. That’s when they lose the resources and programs provided by schools and the federal government through IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) which ensures that each child with disabilities receives necessary support. Their caretakers, who are often the parents or single parent of an adult with intellectual disabilities, are left to care for their adult family member with disabilities themselves and often struggle to find appropriate adult care programs or homes. “Here in San Diego county about 500 students a year ‘age out’ of the system, age out of educational services,” said Dr. Rebecca Laird, who is the president of the launch team for Friend Ship San Diego. “They’ve mostly been students who have been going to school, and by the time they’re about 22, there are no more services available.” About two years ago, six moms of adults with developmental disabilities began meeting to discuss starting a L’Arche community in San Diego to address this concern. L’Arche (French for ‘ark’ and rhymes with marsh) is a worldwide federation of communities founded in the 1960s where people with and without intellectual disabilities live and work together as peers.

Five issues were examined: the meaning and recognition of success; interactions between the school and its context; the influence of school structures, processes, and culture in fostering success; characteristics of student life in school; and services provided to at-risk students. From over 260 nominations, 21 diverse secondary schools were selected, including large urban schools, small rural schools, minority-language schools, and Aboriginal schools. A research team spent 20 days at each school gathering information, from which case studies, a national report, a video, and a resource archive were developed. Chapter 1 discusses challenges facing secondary education in Canada in the 1990s. Chapter 2 describes the origins of the project, research design, school selection process, data collected, and framework for analyses.

INTRODUCTION Canada has always outlawed blasphemy. From the earliest days of the New France period, through the era of “Upper” and “Lower” Canada, past Confederation and the eventual enactment of the original Criminal Code, and still today, blasphemy has been considered a criminal offence in the Canadian legal system.1 However, this prohibition, whether expressed through common law or statute, has rarely been enforced through actual prosecution.2 In the 117 years since the Criminal Code was enacted, its prohibition on blasphemous libel has been enforced only five times in reported cases.3 A study of the Criminal Code provision and these five prosecutions provides valuable information on the legal treatment of blasphemy throughout Canadian history.

  • Being Formed in the Time of Jesus Christ: Towards a Renewal of Footwashing in a High-Speed Age
    Being Formed in the Time of Jesus Christ: Towards a Renewal of Footwashing in a High-Speed Age Jason Reimer Greig Introduction Recent decades have seen a plethora of writing on the late modern experience of time, particularly its accelerated character.1 Whether academic or popular, many of these works speak of the contemporary age as one in which people experience a “time-squeeze,” or feel as if they live their life on a “hamster wheel” of speed, or find the western pace of life to be a “race against the clock.” While some describe the accelerated late modern “times” as liberating, others regard this sped-up temporality as pathological and demoralizing. In this essay I consider the nature of time in a Christian, liturgical framework, and how this time differs from the time of accelerated contemporary societies. In this study, human bodies will play a central part. While I discuss bodies labelled as “disabled,” I do so mainly to highlight some pathological elements of contemporary temporality, not to categorize these bodies as “special.” Worship and liturgy also play a central role in the discussion. I argue that the sacramental practice of footwashing exemplifies a contrasting, more authentically Christian time to that of high-speed society, one that does not erase, deny, or forget the body in an accelerated age of virtuality and disembodied relationships. While footwashing has held an important place in some streams of Anabaptist and Mennonite ecclesial life, scholars see a 1 For a sample, see Stephen Bertman, Hyperculture: The Human Cost of Speed (Westport, CT: Praeger, 1998); John Tomlinson, The Culture of Speed: The Coming of Immediacy (Los Angeles: SAGE, 2007); Hartmut Rosa and William E Scheuerman, eds., High-Speed Society: Social Acceleration, Power, and Modernity (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State Univ.
